Amylase test kit / AMS test box

Amylase exists in animals (saliva, pancreas, etc.), plants (malt, spinach) and microorganisms. Microbial enzymes are almost secretory. This enzyme takes ca2+ as an essential factor, as a stabilizing factor and activator, and some amylases are non Ca2 + - dependent. Amylase acts on both amylose and amylopectin, randomly cutting the internal of the sugar chain α－ 1, 4-chain. Therefore, it is characterized by a sharp decline in the viscosity of the substrate solution and the disappearance of the iodine reaction. The final product is mainly glucose in the decomposition of amylose. In addition, there are a small amount of maltose and maltose. Among them, the final product of fungal a-amylase hydrolysis of starch is mainly maltose and does not contain macromolecular limit dextrin, which is widely used in the baking industry and maltose manufacturing industry. On the other hand, when decomposing amylopectin, in addition to maltose, glucose and maltose, the branching part also has α- 1, 6-key α- Limit dextrin (also known as α- Dextrin). The general decomposition limit is 35-50% based on glucose, but in bacterial amylase, there is also a decomposition limit as high as 70% (finally free glucose). Amylase test box
